great beaches, food and people as the best things about life on Koh Samui. When it comes to work, he particularly enjoys meeting guests,

Swedish-born Victoria combines sales and marketing experience, gained in Spain and the UK, with three years' training in International
Hotel Management. She loves Koh Samui's climate, people and incredible natural beauty, while on a professional note she enjoys the warmth

Since arriving on Samui she has gained experience of sales and marketing in one of the leading resorts, managed the Front Office Department for a top-class hotel and coordinated the Weddings and Events for Faraway Weddings. The proud mum of a gorgeous baby boy, she can't imagine a better place than Samui to begin a new family - nor a more stunning location for families from around the world to meet up and spend time together.

Maria Panyawan - Reservations Officer

Maria was born in Thailand, educated in Germany and has since accumulated 15 years' experience in the travel and hospitality sector. Today,
her role involves liaising directly with guests and agents, dealing with everything from initial enquiries and preparing quotes through to
arranging special requests. As well as the climate and people, Maria loves the fact that the island of Koh Samui isn't too large or over-developed.
She enjoys the flexibility of her work, and the fact that not having a fixed schedule means she has plenty of time to enjoy the island's many pleasures.

Thai-born Boonying has been with Miskawaan for nearly two and a half years and has seven years' accounting experience. His day-to-day role involves
managing the resort's cash flow by overseeing payments, expenses and revenues. He also prepares reports for the Revenue Department. Sun, sea and
sand are Boonying's top three things about living on Koh Samui, while the importance of his day-to-day work to Miskawaan's continuing success is
something he particularly enjoys about his job here.

Meenapat has worked in the hospitality and travel industry for ten years now, the last three of those years spent here with us at Miskawaan.

hear guests' positive feedback about the resort, and to share in their enthusiasm for Koh Samui as a whole.
